TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 11, 2022--Arizona Metals Corp. (TSXV:AMC,
OTCQX:AZMCF) (the “Company” or “Arizona Metals”) is pleased to announce the results of
seven recently completed drill holes at its Kay Mine project in Yavapai, County Arizona.
Drilling Highlights
Hole KM-21-74 intersected 39.0 m at a grade of 4.2 g/t AuEq, from a depth of 649 m
downhole, including higher-grade intervals of 7.2 m grading 6.0 g/t AuEq and 9.8 m
grading 6.1 g/t AuEq. This hole demonstrates excellent continuity of mineralization in
the 80 m gap between holes 25 (78.6 m grading 5.9 g/t AuEq) and 25B.
KM-21-79 intersected 7.9 m grading 4.0% CuEq from 682 m. This is a step-out hole to
the south, which extended mineralization about 60 m south of hole KM-21-25B along the
southern edge of the deposit. Mineralization is open to the south in this area.
Marc Pais, CEO, commented “Drilling at the Kay Mine Project continues to intersect very
large widths and high grades of massive sulphide mineralization. The holes released today
demonstrate excellent continuity of mineralization in all directions, while also showing that
mineralization is substantially thicker than suggested by our original modelling. Drilling has
extended mineralization well into both the hanging-wall and foot-wall envelopes, which gives the
potential to define a significant tonnage of mineralization. The large widths and high grades
being encountered at Kay are extremely rare in the context of VMS deposits either in production
or being explored globally.
We have drilled approximately 70,000 meters at Kay to date, with each hole solidifying our
opinion that this is one of the very few large precious-metals rich VMS deposits not yet mined,
and more importantly, is potentially part of a much larger mineralized system that has yet to be
explored.
Road construction is well underway to reach drill locations that will test the Central Target,
located 300 m west of the Kay Mine Deposit. Drilling at pads C1 and C2 is expected to
commence in November 2022, and will comprise part of the planned 76,000 metre Phase 3
program. Permitting is also in progress for pads W1 and W2 to test the Western Target, also
part of the Phase 3 program.
The Company is fast approaching an inflection point in our drilling strategy. Over the last two
years we have focused on expanding the Kay Mine Deposit, which covers only 320 m of strike.
This represents only 3% of the 11,000 m of prospectively mineralized geological contact horizon
defined by extensive surface mapping, soil geochemistry, airborne and ground electromagnetic
surveys, and gravity surveys. Completion of the Central Target drill road and pads, with drilling
anticipated to commence in November, will mark a shift in focus from expanding Kay, to also
aggressively drill-testing our claims to the west to discover new VMS deposits. The Phase 3
program will entail 76,000 m of drilling at an anticipated cost of $27 million. Work will continue
at the Kay Mine Deposit to define a resource, in conjunction with associated hydrological, rock
geochemistry, metallurgical, and specific gravity studies, but we anticipate that over the next 18
months approximately 90% of our budget will go towards exploration south, north, and west of
the Kay Mine Deposit.
Kay Mine Phase 2 Drill Program Update
With the assayed holes released today, the Company has completed a total of 70,000 meters at
the Kay Mine since inception of drilling. The Company is fully-funded to complete the
remaining 19,000 meters planned for the Phase 2 program with the priority focus areas for
upcoming drilling (shown in Figure 1 above) as well as an additional 76,000 meters in the
upcoming Phase 3 program (Figures 3 and 4 below).
Kay Mine Phase 3 Drill Program Update – Moving to Central and Western Targets
The Phase 3 drill program will test the numerous parallel targets heading west of Kay, as well as
the possible northern and southern extensions of the Kay Deposit. The road toward the Central
Target (located 300 m west of the Kay Deposit) is underway, with drilling at the Central Target
pads expected to commence during November 2022.
A total of six holes were drilled to the west from pad 7 (see Figure 3), but due to the westerly dip
of the stratigraphy and the Central Target EM anomaly, these holes did not fully test the Central
Target. Results from these six holes, along with updated structural mapping and ground-loop EM
geophysics, will be used to refine the drill targeting from pads C1 and C2. The location of these
pads will provide much better angles to intersect the core of the Central Target, while also testing
for its extensions north and south on strike of the mafic-felsic contact that potentially hosts
mineralization.
Permitting is in progress for drill pads at the Western Target (W1 and W2, located ~1,000 m
west of the Kay Deposit), with road construction anticipated to commence in Q4’22 and drilling
in Q1’23.
Graduation from TSXV to the Toronto Stock Exchange
The common shares of the Company have been listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”) since August 7, 2019 under the symbol “AMC”. The Company has received approval
to graduate its listing to the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), and the Company’s common
shares will begin trading on the TSX on October 13, 2022, and will be delisted from the TSXV
upon commencement of trading on the TSX. The Company’s trading symbol (AMC) and CUSIP
will remain the same and no action is required by shareholders.

The true width of mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 99% of reported core width, with an
average of 76%. (2) Assumptions used in USD for the copper and gold Metal Equivalent
calculations were metal prices of $4.63/lb Copper, $1937/oz Gold, $25/oz Silver, $1.78/lb Zinc,
and $1.02/lb Pb. Assumed metal recoveries (rec.), based on a preliminary review of historic data
by SRK and ProcessIQ1, were 93% for copper, 92% for zinc, 90% for lead, 72% silver, and 70%
for gold. The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%)
(93% rec.) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.61)(72% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0079)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x
0.3844)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.2203)(93% rec.). The following equation was used to
calculate gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t)(72% rec.) + (Copper (%) x 1.638)(93% rec.) +
(Silver (g/t) x 0.01291)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.6299)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.3609)(93%
rec.). Analyzed Metal Equivalent calculations are reported for illustrative purposes only. The
metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis is the one that contributes the most dollar value
after accounting for assumed recoveries.

The true width of mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 99% of reported core width, with an
average of 76%. (2) Assumptions used in USD for the copper and gold Metal Equivalent
calculations were metal prices of $4.63/lb Copper, $1937/oz Gold, $25/oz Silver, $1.78/lb Zinc,
and $1.02/lb Pb. Assumed metal recoveries (rec.), based on a preliminary review of historic data
by SRK and ProcessIQ2, were 93% for copper, 92% for zinc, 90% for lead, 72% silver, and 70%
for gold. The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%)
(93% rec.) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.61)(72% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0079)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x
0.3844)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.2203)(93% rec.). The following equation was used to
calculate gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t)(72% rec.) + (Copper (%) x 1.638)(93% rec.) +
(Silver (g/t) x 0.01291)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.6299)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.3609)(93%
rec.). Analyzed Metal Equivalent calculations are reported for illustrative purposes only. The
metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis is the one that contributes the most dollar value
after accounting for assumed recoveries.
